01Overview

A payments platform where the quoted rate is the settled rate across nine corridors, without a manual ops team behind it.

02The problem

Veyra quoted indicative rates and reconciled the difference later, which meant every transfer needed a human and every invoice needed an apology. Compliance checks ran after funding, so payouts stalled at the worst possible moment.

Every transfer in flight with its locked rate, screening result and payout partner on one console
03What we built
  1. 01

    Locked quotes, not estimates

    A pricing engine holds the rate for the life of the transfer and prices liquidity per corridor, so the customer sees one number and it stays true.

  2. 02

    Screening before funding

    Sanctions and beneficiary checks run at quote time. A transfer that cannot complete never takes the customer's money.

  3. 03

    Payout routing that self-heals

    Each corridor has ranked payout partners with automatic failover, so a partner outage reroutes instead of queueing.

A beneficiary name that only partly matches the registry, held before the customer's money is taken
A supplier in Karachi paid from the warehouse floor at the rate the screen promised
04The result

Transfers now complete without an operator touching them, and cost per transfer fell far enough to open corridors that were previously uneconomic.

Do you have an idea, or a problem?

Either works. In my experience the second one goes faster.
